Fairbridge West just down the road from us does amazing work with young people from really tough backgrounds. At the end of last year we helped organise the Boxcar Challenge, which turned out to be an incredibly rewarding and enjoyable experience for both the staff here and the young people

We continue to work with Fairbridge West on a regular basis and if you don't know much about them- please check out their website and the great work they do.

Thanks goes out to everyone who came along for the opening night of the life.still photography exhibition at the Bristol shop on Friday. It was a really great evening and over 150 people enjoying the photography, the open slideshow night, a beer and hopefully a bit of conversation. We had lot's of fun, and by the amount of glass washing we had to do - we can only assume you did too!

Don't worry if you couldn't make it. You can pop into the store anytime up until the 30th May and view the complete exhibition including the open slideshow which will run on loop throughout. www.lifestill.co.uk

The life.still exhibition and open slideshow event is fast approaching and we just wanted to remind you to come along and to take part!

The howies store in Bristol will be making itself host to a range of work from five documentary photographers from the 21st - 30th May 2010. Come and see some fresh and exciting photography and if you can make it on the opening night, join us for a beer and the open slideshow event which you can take part in.

life.still have had a great response to their request for everyday people and photographers alike to submit photography slideshows to their event. But it's not too late for you to take part, so head to their website at www.lifestill.co.uk to find out more and become part of this exciting event.

If you're still not convinced here's a photograph from the collection 'When I close my eyes' by Rebecca Harley. This collection of portraits explore the hopes and desires of people lost in their own environments often rushing from a to b without much time to reflect. What happens when we take a moment to close our eyes, shut out the world and think about our dreams?

The sports that we're into aren't team sports...they are sort of solitary really. But if you ask anyone about their best days riding, they will always say a day when they've been out with an awesome group of mates who inspire them. There are certain friends who push me more to ride faster and try something new.

I just stumbled upon this edit of an interview with a snowboarder called Jess Kimura. It's from an all girl's production Peep Show, which was released this winter. Anyway she sums up that feeling of riding with your mates perfectly. It's a really sweet video, so check it out...
